[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4084346, member: 45551"] Wow! Good for you for getting sober again! That's quite a story you've lived. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I found myself drinking plain orange juice at 9:30 one Saturday morning and thought it tasted off. It did. It tasted off because it didn't have any vodka in it and I was too drunk to get down the stairs to get to the car to go to the liquor store to "fix" it. I decided that morning while I was scrubbing the kitchen that I might have a problem and I didn't take another drink for YEARS. Let's see ... That was in 81. I went to work at the bar in 88 ... So almost 7 years. I am still the girl who will crack open an ice cold beer, just "dying" for a drink and throw the half left in the bottle out the next morning. I dunno. I'll overdo it with wine every once in a blue moon but that's it. I'm sitting here trying to remember the last time I had a drink and I can't. I dunno. It might be different if I wasn't taking pain meds -- I am hyper-vigilent about mixing the two. That kinda stuff scares me a bit cuz I've seen upclose what mixing the two can do and it ain't good. All you guys who have to fight those urges have my utmost respect. Life is hard enough. I'm not sure I'm as tough as y'all are, even though I like to talk a good game. 😘 [/QUOTE]
